choice

Motherhood is a choice

Pain for some, and for others rejoice

But this is what people don't understand

They think it's always a dreamland

Trend of fertility tests before exchanging the rings 

Makes me feel nothing less than cattle to breeds 

They say the want a inheritor for their property

Yet all their bank account has a lakh or three

Only women have the power of creation they say 

But is it wrong if I want to live my own way ?

What is with this unecessary glorification

We all know our country's population

People love to call us names 

"Barren" or " too carrier oriented" they say 

For how long I've secretly been taking pills 

Risking my health because I can't pay the child's bills

Because not wanting a child is a crime 

Dosent matter if its takes my health and time 

Sometimes having a uterus feels like a mistake

Like my womb is my only stake 

Almost half of the women have postpartum depression

"My mom had 5 children and yet she was happy"is the common expression

Let's understand motherhood is a choice

Pain for some and for others rejoice
